He was a very special, I would say exceptionally gifted person in many different ways.
Every year he would present his students in a special concert that always had a very interesting and intriguing theme.
On one of these evenings, this time under the name “Debussy and his contemporaries”, he entrusted me to play Lotus Land by Cyril Scott, the piece that took me under its spell from the very first bars.
